At the end of a semester, undergraduate students who not attain a U of I cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 are placed on academic probation for the next semester of enrollment and are referred to the appropriate academic dean for advising The effect of this probationary status is to serve notice that if a student's cumulative record at the end of the next semester in residence is unsatisfactory they will be disqualified and ineligible to continue at U of I Students in their first semester of college who achieve less than a 1.0 grade point average at the end of the semester will be placed on first academic disqualification rather than probation (see L-4-a) L-2-b. Students on academic probation who attain a U of I cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 or higher are automatically removed from probation L-2-c. Students on academic probation who attain a semester gradepoint average of 2.00 or higher during the next or subsequent semester after being placed on probation, but whose cumulative grade-point average is still below 2.00 remain on academic probation L-2-d. Because final grades for a probationary term may not be available until after a student has registered for an ensuing term, such registration must be considered tentative until the student's academic standing may be determined If the student is disqualified at the end of the probationary term, the registration for the ensuing term is invalid and will be cancelled unless the student is reinstated (see L-4) L-3 Academic Disqualification for Undergraduates L-3-a.

Because final grades for a probationary term may not be available until after a student has registered for an ensuing term, such registration must be considered tentative until the student's academic standing may be determined If the student is disqualified at the end of the probationary term, the registration for the ensuing term is invalid and will be cancelled unless the student is reinstated (see L-4) L-4 Academic Reinstatement for Undergraduates L-4-a.
